Socionext Europe will be exhibiting what it claims to be the world’s smallest, lightest 8K media player and other technologies at this year’s ISE conference.
The only 8K UHD (7680 x 4320) that the firm expects to be demonstrated at the show, Socionext’s S8 media player is powered by an SC1400A decoder and runs an Android operating system.
For AV streaming applications, Socionext will be demonstrating its real-time Ultra HD HEVC encoding and decoding using the low-power SC2M50 Codec LSI. The chipset operates at 3.5W in typical operating conditions, enabling portable video equipment and is capable of YUV 4:2:2 10-bit encoding and decoding, up to 4K 60 FPS, for professional use.
For TV, STB and smart home applications, Socionext will be demonstrating HDMI 2.0 interface LSI, including a way to expand existing 2K video to 4K with “Super Resolution” technology. Specialist teams will be on hand to discuss visitors’ projects.
